Gnome Home
This piece started with black and purple fabric, stitched together and then transformed through bleaching and ice dyeing to create a dynamic, autumnal night sky. The rich textures and colors set the perfect backdrop for a whimsical gnome, whose design I found as an embroidery file and knew he belonged here. Using extensive free-motion stitching, I added depth and movement to the scene, enhancing the swirling night sky and grounding the little gnome in his Halloween home. The combination of fabric manipulation, embroidery, and quilting techniques brings a playful yet moody energy to this seasonal piece.
